NSTALLING A
When your computer no longer automatically displays the
correct date and time, it may mean the battery providing power
to the real-time clock needs to be replaced. Battery life is
usually about five to ten years under normal use. When
replacing the battery, use a 3-volt replacement battery.
WARNING:
This computer contains a lithium-ion battery pack.
!
There is a risk of fire and chemical burn if the battery pack is
handled improperly. Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short
external contacts, dispose in water or fire, or expose it to
temperatures higher than 60ºC (140ºF).
In North America, dispose of nickel metal
hydride or lithium-ion batteries by taking
advantage of the Compaq battery recycling
program. You will be provided with a postage-
paid battery pack mailer preaddressed to a
reclamation facility where the metals are
recycled. Call the telephone number listed for
your location in Chapter 6 for more
information.
In Europe, do not dispose of batteries with
general household waste. Dispose of or recycle
them by using the public collection system or
returning them to Compaq, your authorized
Compaq partners, or their agents.
